Our homes have a pulse; like us, they have a past, present, and future. They reflect who we are, and they are the center of our lives. For that reason, entertaining is more than just throwing a great party or setting a pretty table. There is a vulnerability inherent in opening our home and inviting people in to see how we live--and that vulnerability, says home entertainer extraordinaire Joseph Marini, is something to embrace wholeheartedly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this beautiful, accessible guide, Joseph shares his secrets for being a thoughtful and authentic host when entertaining at home, along with distinctive recipes, tasteful advice on etiquette appropriate for today's lifestyles, and a multitude of ways to make your next gathering unforgettable. Entertaining, he says, is a learned skill that with a little bit of regular practice becomes second nature. Becoming a proficient host means that you are taking the time to nurture people--bringing them together in a space that is comfortable and welcoming while creating memories over food and drinks. Even someone who hates to cook can become a talented host by taking the time to give their presentation a special touch (by serving those store-bought foods on earthenware platters with beautiful garnishes, for example) and learning how to care well for their guests. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluding close to 100 recipes that Joseph has used both throughout his career as a caterer and for his own personal use at home--each one accompanied by a gorgeous, full-page lifestyle photo and a recommendation on how to serve the dish with style--\u003ci\u003eMastering the Art of Entertaining\u003c\/i\u003e is the empowering, inspiring coach you need to become the host you've always wanted to be.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 11.1 x 9.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 09, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53099080450272,"sku":"9781684631964","price":50.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/7rZTe4ziFi9781684631964.webp?v=1781701613","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/mastering-the-art-of-entertaining-hardcover","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
